was asked.
sNota word. They ANITA bit changed,
was the reply.
At that moment Fielden, with his long,
thick hair and bushy beard and defiant
air, was leaning indolently against the
iron railing just in front of his cell in an
attitude of seeming indifference. Par
sons had his soft black hat Jauntly
cooked on one side of his head and
seemed keenly to enjoy the prospect OF
his sixty minutes freedom without the
narrow boundaries of his prison home.
His hair was neatly combed, his clothing
was brushed clean, and while chatting
with three women who called to see him he
toved with cigar which he pulled at
from time to time. Lingg III appear

animal every day. He has broadened
out across the chest since his conhne-
ment in jail and appears to be as strong
as a giant. His face and head are COW

his voice is hoarse, thick and gutteral.

walks upright like soldier, and with a

sweetheart and calls to see him almost
every day. She visited him this morn

His usual expression of emotion IS a
crafty smile, a parting of the lips in a
grin full of guile that exposes his teeth.
There is nothing suggestive OF the
lover about him in Nina's society.
This morning she went to the jail be-
fore Spies and his comrades were let out
into the corridor. Her eyes were fast
ened on Spies cell the very instant she
entered the Jail office. When the cell
door was opened at length and Spies
stepped out, her every look followed
him. He walked slowly and deliberately
along the iron passage without once
turning to look at her. At the turn OF
the stairs Spies disappeared around the
corner for moment. Nina fastened to
catch the very first view of him and then
walked rapidly forward to the wire
screen and waited for him to come up.
He took his time and then stood off q
foot or two and coolly surveyed the up
turned face of the girl. There was
something pleading in her look. She
was all eagerness and with feminine
effusiveness proceeded at once to tel
him what she had brought him. Spies
